Count words, characters, sentences, and paragraphs as you type. Every number updates live, and the text you paste stays in this browser tab.
Paste or type into the box and five numbers update on every keystroke: words, characters with spaces, characters without spaces, sentences, and paragraphs, plus an estimated reading time. There is no button to press and no page reload — the counts recalculate live as you edit.
Most writing tasks come with a hard number attached. University essays and exam answers are often graded against a word limit, and some markers penalize anything that runs over. Meta descriptions get truncated in Google results at roughly 155–160 characters, so the character count matters more than the word count there. Social platforms enforce their own caps — 280 characters on X, 2,200 on an Instagram caption — and a cover letter that runs long tends to get skimmed rather than read. Watching the numbers change while you cut lets you trim to the target instead of guessing, exporting, and checking again.
The counting logic runs as JavaScript inside your own browser tab. Nothing you paste is transmitted to a server, saved to a database, or kept after you close the tab — the text exists only in the box in front of you. That matters when the draft you are checking is an unpublished article, a confidential report, or a graded assignment. There is also nothing to sign up for: no account, no daily quota, and no premium tier hiding the sentence or paragraph counts behind a paywall.
No. Counting happens in your browser with JavaScript; the page makes no network request containing your text, and closing the tab erases it.
Any run of characters separated by spaces or line breaks counts as one word, which matches how most word processors and exam boards count.
It divides your word count by an average adult silent-reading speed of roughly 200–240 words per minute, so treat it as an estimate rather than a stopwatch.
There is no enforced cap and no daily usage limit. Extremely long texts may make typing feel slower, since every keystroke triggers a full recount.
